Is the rank Standartenführer the same as the rank Colonel?
I'm not sure: Colonel (Oberst) ist a regualar military Rank (Wehrmacht)
Standartenführer is a SS-Rank.

The SS (Sturmstaffel/Storm Squad) were special elite forces foundet
by the Nazis. They use strange (funny sounding) rank names.

Perhaps they're taken from ancient military ranks or are just fantasy...

Update: Standartenführer means "Flag"- or "Banner"- "chief" or somthing linke that...
Update2: Yes I discovered the mistake too while translating...
